...relying on the experiment to unlock several of the universe's mysteries (for example, how matter in the universe acquires mass) by providing hard data on subatomic matter from which cosmologists and theoretical physicists can extrapolate. But they have less exalted reasons to hope for the LHC's success: After a glut of funding for particle physics in the '80s promised the building of several particle accelerators of equivalent power to the LHC, recent funding cuts mean the CERN experiment is now the only game in town. If it fails to provide results, physicists worry they will have to struggle...
...South African Success Story Alex Perry's article refers to Sasol's "dirty little secret", supposedly that Sasol used a process also used by Nazi Germany [Sept. 15]. The founder of Sasol was my brother, the late Etienne Rousseau, a chemical engineer. In 1990 he described to me how he had used a combination of the Fischer-Tropsch and the complementary American Kellogg process, not the German process only. Moreover it is common knowledge that after World War II the U.S. used captured German scientists to work on synthetic fuels. This was a U.S. Bureau of Mining project instigated...
...touchdown dives that ignited fans—Harvard was a winner on Friday night because of the way the game rallied the campus community. But rather than sitting back and feeling proud about a fun evening and a Crimson victory, the College should instead take stock of their success and create more like-minded events. The inclusion of non-Harvard students at (every Harvard student could bring a non-Harvard guest, free of charge) added another dynamic dimension to the event. Along with encouraging students to bring their friends or significant others from Boston schools to Harvard for the night...
...Harvard’s offense had its fair share of success against Holy Cross’ defense last season as well. Senior Liam O’Hagan was the starter in Worcester last season as the Crimson racked up 442 yards of total offense, but senior First Team All-Ivy pick Chris Pizzotti will lead the Harvard attack this year with O’Hagan as his backup. It may seem odd for O’Hagan, the sixth-leading passer in Crimson history, to begin the season as a backup, but Pizzotti’s undefeated record...
...band’s merits, but it should be enough to quiet some of their critics. At the very least, they’ve crafted one of the most enjoyable albums of the summer. The Hold Steady have built up and filled out their sound with varying levels of success. “Sequestered in Memphis” thrives on fuzzed-out guitar and stuttering horns, and “Slapped Actress” succeeds through the dichotomy of delicate piano and a massive guitar line. In contrast, “Navy Sheets” suffers under the weight...
